    If we claim to be strong in the faith or know that we are strong or maybe stronger than some others, what should we do? 1- We should bear with the failings of the weak 2- We should please our neighbor for his good 3- We should accept one another

    INTRO.- We who are strong. I’ve always been interested in strength and strong men. I guess that’s a boy thing. ILL.- I first became interested in strong men by watching Superman on TV. That was the old Superman, George Reeves and by today’s standards he wasn’t much of a ...read more

    Render To Caesar What Is Caesar's

    Seemingly a Catch 22 position, yet Jesus wonderfully side steps the controversary. By using the Gk word "apodote" Jesus challenges us even today: "The coin bore Caesar's image: give it back to him. You bear God's image: so give yourself back to Him."

    Sermon: Render to Caesar what is Caesars’s Story: A man came to an Anglican Church and asked to see the Vicar. “Vicar,” he said, “My dog died and I would like a Christian burial for him.” The Vicar said, “I’m sorry to hear about your dog, but we ...read more

    Gifts-whether it's giving them, receiving them, opening them, enjoying them-we love it all. Christmas is a big day for that. We're familiar with the story of the wise men bearing gifts when they visited Jesus but what else does the bible say about gifts?

    Famous Last Words On Witnessing Series

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Jun 3, 2024
     | 559 views

    1). We are to witness from God's Word. 2). Witness through hard suffering. 3). Witness with great urgency. (Material adapted from Matt Proctor's book called "Victorious", chapter 8 "Bear Witness Boldly")

    HoHum: We are uncomfortable with the word witness- mainly because there is another group out there who has overtaken the word. They are the same group who claim to be the 144,000 talked about in chapter 7 of Revelation. Much of that group’s theology comes from misunderstandings of the end times, ...read more

    Life is filled with moments of pain, heartache, and suffering. At some point, every person faces trials that seem too heavy to bear. But as followers of Jesus, we are not left to suffer alone. God, in His great mercy and love, is our Comforter. And He calls us to extend that same comfort to others.

     | 189 views

    God calls us not to flee the people and places that have seen our worst, but to return and bear witness to His transforming power—so that those who once knew our “demons” can see the change for themselves and, through our testimony, become part of a community renewed by God.

    Jesus and the disciples are rowing their boat toward the shore—toward a region called the Gerasenes. It’s Gentile territory—so it’s a place they’ve likely never been before and one they may already feel uneasy about. To the Jews, Gentile lands were unclean and unholy—filled with pagan practices ...read more

     | 6,911 views

    As we examine Paul’s conversion story we can find a simple outline that will help us as we bear witness to others. You ought to write this outline down: 1. My life before I met Christ. 2. How I came to know Christ. 3. The difference Christ has made in

    THE ANATOMY OF CONVERSION Acts 26:1-32 One of the most effective witness that we can give is that of our own personal experience with Jesus Christ. After all that’s what witnessing is all about.
